In times past I've been able to browse to http://localhost:621/admin and have it prompt me for the username/password.Now, when I browse there, it does not prompt me. I guess it assumes I want to do administrative things as my normal non-privileged user. I suppose I could add my non-priv user to lpadmin, but I'd rather be prompted for a privilege escalation.How can I get CUPS to prompt me again for the admin user/password? Thanks!
No, on further tinkering, that doesn't seem to be quite the issue. I'm getting different Home pages at various times, and I just now realized that if I start at localhost:631, sometime I wind up at an IPADDRESS:631 which is not the IPAddress of my localhost box. Then if I try to browse to http://MYLOCALIP:631 I get a "can't establish connection to the server at THATADDRESS".
It seems that CUPS thinks my localhost IP address is something different than what it actually is.
